Bonus points if it has a good story. Also, I’m not going to play DRM-controlled games
Left 4 Dead 2!
Rock and stone!
(Deep Rock galactic) The most fun coop fps in my opinion
Halo is the all time best co-op shooter hands down. The lore is surprisingly deep and the story telling is top notch.
Of course I am referring to 1, 2, 3, odst, and reach.
3 and on support 4 player co-op. All are in the master chief collection. Added bonus that odst is like an unofficial firefly reunion
Left 4 Dead 1 & 2
Killing Floor
Deep Rock Galactic
If your into realistic FPS games then you want to go with bodycam, 6 days or if you want a solid mix between realistic and not so realistic then Insurgency Sandstorm is good.
But if you want good lore then start with doom and work your way up the series.
I have mixed feelings about Doom 1993 and Doom 2. Used to play that with my brother, which was great. But eventually he’d start killing me instead of demons until I cried, which was bad.
Still great games.
Third person, not first: It Takes Two is adorable. The developers, Hazelight Studios, also made A Way Out. They specialise in co-op and they’re working on a new game, Split Fiction. It Takes Two, as of May 29th, is DRM-free on Steam and Steam Deck, and hopefully the new one will follow
Split Fiction came out a few days ago and is excellent. My wife and I are a good way into it already and are enjoying it every bit as much as we enjoyed It Takes Two.
